The next day was a Saturday. Rose had taken Mikey to Jersey to see her sister for the weekend and Mercedes was sitting in the firehouse, with Jimmy, DK, Walsh, Carlos, Kim and Doc.
"So, how you like being Lieu, now?" Mercedes looked at Jimmy.
"It sucks. I can't believe I said yes. Thank god it's only temporary." Jimmy stretched and yawned.
"Glad I didn't get it. Hard enough being a chick firefighter, nevermind the first chick firefighter in Queens to be a Lieu!" She smirked as Kim just laughed.
"Why not, I'm supervisor?" Kim looked at her, flicking a piece of bread at her.
"Yeah, of Paramedics. Been there, seen that. We are talking about a male dominated society here." Hit with the bread she tossed her napkin at Kim. Carlos shook his head as Bosco walked up.
"Mercedes, I need to talk to you." He moved into Jimmy's temporary office and closed the door after she made her way in.
"Dad was released this morning. He's gunna be coming after you. We both know this."
"Yeah and? Let him come. I'm not 6 anymore."
"Yeah, but he's still dad. God knows what he will do. Where's Mikey?"
"Ma took him to Jersey to see Aunt Stella."
"Good. Call her and tell her to stay down there until we find Dad. I don't want him going near her or Mikey,"
"All right, what are you going to do?"
"Monroe and I are going to stay outside and keep an eye on the station. Swertzky knows and is allowing it."
"All right. If you want, you can sit up here with us."
"No, we have to stay in the car. If you go to any calls, we will follow and be near-by."
"All right, thanks Mo." Bosco hugged his sister and walked out, nodding to the guys at the table. Mercedes sat down and looked at everyone.
"They released my dad this morning. Mo is going to sit outside and watch the station to see if he comes."
"He better not. Not after what he said and did yesterday." DK looked ready to kill.
"I don't put anything past my father. He's a reckless, dangerous man." She shuddered thinking about what he had done to her over the years.
"Mercedes, what did he do in your life, to your family?" Jimmy looked at her, wanting to know.
"I." She got cut off by the alarm going off. Everyone jumped up and went downstairs, getting their gear and jumping on the truck.
"Squad 55, respond to MVA. Injuries confirmed, person traped in vehicle, fire on scene."
Jimmy called in to say they were responding and jumped in the truck.
